To al f'who m zi't may concern i Be it known that we, CiiARIQEs'H. SNiDE R and LAwREi'Ion Dfh/IzisnATrnciti'zens of the United States, residingat Conway, 'in the county of Horry and State-f South Carolina, have invented new and useful Improvenients in Shampoo-CombsQof which the fol lowing is aispecifi cation 7 This invention relates to shampoo or devices for treating the hair in the appli- "cation" of either wetor'dry shampoos. 7 p v .The inventionhas-forits object toproduce adevice of simple and improved construe tion, the saineincliidin g ia caphaving ag pas' sageway, and a comb"element-.detachably connected with said cap,'sa1d comb-element being adapted, according to its construction,

ffor eitherwet or dry treatment of the hair'.

A further object of theinvention i s tov simplify and improt' 'e the constractionw of illustrated a simple and preferred form of the invention, it being, however, understood that no limitation is necessarily made to the precise structural details therein exhibited, but that changes, 7 tions' within the scope of the claims'may be resorted to when desired.

bonnet A of the improved device consists of a diskv 15 having a cirdischarge opening 19 that flares in the direotion of the circumferential, flange 16. 9 The nozzlerl8' has ai fiexible tube 20 connected therewith and: whereby it may be connected with a suctionpump or witha source of supply'of liquid according tolthe use to which I the device is' to-bewput. I c The liquid comb B consists ofa cylindrical shell or "body 21 having a downwardly ex;

tending,"circumferential series of teeth 22, the upper end'sof which are inset with re:

I spect to theexternal perimeter of the shell,

the. upper ends of the teeth being connected latter being located withinthe shell 21 and with an internal cylindrical sleeve 23, the

substantially concentric therewith,the space 2d intermediate the .shell2l and the sleeve 23 communicating with bores 25 extendin through the teeth 22, the latter being cut. at? obliquely at their lower ends as indicated at 26. The upper end of the sleeve 23 has a conical cap or closure27, which, if desired, may be integral therewith, the apex of said closure lying within the'fiaring nozzle 18'so that said closure will act as a spreader to direct any fluid or liquid entering in the nozzle in the direction of the internal circumference of the cylindricalshell 2 1.

The cap or bonnet A has been shown as being threadedly connected with the nozzle l8 as well as with the comb B; it isto be understood however, that the parts maybe connected together frictionally or in any other convenient and well known manner, and'also that washers or gaskets or like instrumentalities of awell known character may be employed in order to make the joints be:

tween the parts perfectly tight.

The comb which is used for dry applications is designated by C. Said comb is of substantially cylindrical shape and it is i 7 Y closure 27 of the sleeve 23 whereby the liquid Hiormed or {provided With a downwardly ex- "tend ng circumferential seriesot teeth '28.
